The first game back from their Rodeo Road Trip was not pretty, but as they say: “its not how you start – but how you finish”.
Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points and 10 rebounds, including the game-winner, lifting the San Antonio Spurs to a 100-99 win over the Indiana Pacers at the AT&T Center on Wednesday night.
David Lee and Pau Gasol each added 18 points for San Antonio, who were without Tony Parker – who missed the game with an injured quad.
The win was the fifth straight for San Antonio and their first home game in over a month due to the Rodeo Road Trip.
“Coach Pop drew up a good play,” Leonard said of his game-winner. “LaMarcus set a good screen to free me up. I got an easy catch in that corner.”
The Pacers were led by Paul George’s 22 points. C.J. Miles added 19 and Myles Turner had 16 for Indiana (31-30), who fought with San Antonio to the very end.
Big man from downtown: Since returning from injury, Pau Gasol has gone 7-of-8 from three-point range.
Gasol on his 3-point stroke – he's 7 of 9 in last 3 games: "Feels great. Doesn't it look good?" #Spurs
